Abstract: A system and method for calculating and storing block fingerprints for data dedu- plication. A fingerprint extraction layer generates a fingerprint of a predefined size, e.g., 64 bits, for each data block stored by a storage system. Each fingerprint is stored in a fingerprint record, and the fingerprint records are, in turn, stored in a fingerprint database for access by the data deduplication module. The data deduplication module may peri¬ odically compare the fingerprints to identify duplicate fingerprints, which, in turn, indi¬ cate duplicate data blocks.

Abstract translation: 一种用于计算和存储用于数据挖掘的块指纹的系统和方法。 指纹提取层针对由存储系统存储的每个数据块生成预定义大小的指纹，例如64位。 每个指纹被存储在指纹记录中，指纹记录又被存储在指纹数据库中以供重复数据删除模块访问。 重复数据删除模块可以对指纹进行比较，以识别重复的指纹，这反映了重复的数据块。

Abstract: An application implemented on a server in a network of storage servers can be provided to manage the data replication relationships implemented between the storage servers of the network. In one embodiment, this server can be designated the manager server, and can provide replication relationships to enable a user to centrally manage the plurality of data replication relationships. In one embodiment, the manager server includes a network adapter to connect the manager server to a network, a storage facility to contain a data structure configured to represent the plurality of data replication relationships, and a processor to automatically input the plurality of data replication relationships into the data structure, to automatically generate a plurality of replication policies, and to apply at least one of the plurality of replication policies to each data replication relationship.
